Writing gives you time to find out who you are, plan activities, unleash creativity, understand your thoughts, plan for the future, and open up your dreams. An easy way to jump start your success is to have a success journal in which you can write down important events, plan for the future and write down important things that you learn. Use your success journal to track your Personal Achievement Accomplishments and write down your goals. Remember you can write however you want and whatever you want, so be creative and have fun. The secret of a great journal is to rite in it as often as you can, have fun, and come up with some great ideas.
Try this:
Make a journal by stapling paper together or buy one from the store
Write down ONE goal in your journal
Draw a picture of something you like or something crazy
Write down a short story about anything you want
Write one thing that you learned, anything
Write a short paragraph about a friend, a family member, or teacher
GOOD LUCK! Maybe your journal will be famous some day!

Charisma!
Leaders have a lot of charisma because they feel good about themselves. When you have charisma, people will like being around you because you are "celebrating," not "complaining." You know, you're happy, you smile, your just fun to be around. Things that charismatic people do is start conversations with other people, listen to them, and help everyone else feel better about themselves. You should help people to have a good time and you encourage them to do their best if you want to be a charismatic leader.
SPEAK UP!
Here are some things you can do to have more charisma:
1) Say "hi" to 5 people in your class at school before they can say hi to you first
2) Tell 5 people: "It's good to see you!"
3) When someone asks you how you are doing, say "Great! How are you?"
4) Give someone a compliment to make him/her feel good

Good Winner/ Good Loser
If you give up on your goals, you'll be left in the dark: Did you know Thomas Edison tried to invent the light bulb more than 1,000 times before he actually got one that worked!?
Good Winners are like this:
Leaders know how to win like a champion. You congratulate your opponents and encourage them to do their best next time. Be excited about winning, but don't show off or make fun of the people who lost. When people tell you how good you are, always say "Thank you!"
Good "Losers" are like this:
Being a good loser is one of the most important qualities to achieving great things in life. The more time you spend complaining about losing, the more time your opponents have to get better. It is impossible to win every time, so turn your losses into wins.
When you Lose, Try the Winner's Game Plan:
Step 1 - GET OVER IT! Tell yourself you tried your best and tell your opponents "good job!"
Step 2 - GET BETTER! Write down why you lost and practice what you did poorly
Step 3 - GO TRY AGAIN! Keep trying your best, Winners never give up, they TURN IT UP!

Stand up and Lead!!
This week we focus on Leadership. Leadership is not just a word, it's an action! Did you know that people who speak in front of crowds earn on average four times more than the average American? Earn what, you may ask. They earn more money, more promotions, better grades at school, their goals, awards, you name it!
Get up in front of people as much as you can. it will make a tremendous impact on your life! Studies show that the #1 fear in life for most people is getting up in front of others and speaking. When you conquer things that other people are afraid of, you set yourself up for extreme success. Try giving a presentation, telling a joke, a story, doing a comedy show. You can also try singing, reciting a poem, acting, teaching, or reading to a group. Next time someone asks for a volunteer, be the first to raise your hand. Everyone is scared at first, but pretty soon it will be easy and you will not be afraid to Stand Up and Lead!
Here are ways that you can be a LEADER this WEEK!
1 - Be a volunteer to read or perform in class
2 - Practice reading out loud at home
3 - Memorize a good joke or story and tell it to a group of people
4 - Teach a friend or family member a martial arts move and practice with him/ her
5 - Perform a set of martial arts moves or demonstration in front of your martial arts class
